Winnie-the-Pooh
By: A. A. Milne
Christopher Robin loves his stuffed bear, Winnie-the-Pooh. The two of them, plus a cast of colorful characters-Piglet, Eeyore, Owl, Rabbit, Kanga, and Roo- go on all sorts of adventures in the 100 Acre Woods. Pooh and friends hunt for a Woozle, meet a Heffalump, lose and find a tail, lead an expedition to the North Pole, and more. You and your family will love reading about Pooh and his Forrest Friends!
Activities
- Christopher Robin, Winnie-the-Pooh, and friends have all kinds of adventures in the 100 Acre Wood. As a family, talk about an adventure that you would go on if you lived in the 100 Acre Wood. Who would you take with you? Who would you meet along the way? And what might you accomplish from your adventure?
- Christopher Robin shows his appreciation for Winnie-the-Pooh, by throwing him a Pooh Party. At the party, they give Winnie-the-Pooh a gift-a Special Pencil Case with pencils marked for "Bear," "Brave Bear," and "Helping Bear." You can have your own party to show a friend or relative that they are special. There are some great Pooh Party ideas on this website: Penguin Group
- You and your family can play Winnie-the-Pooh games, watch videos, and color and create Winnie-the Pooh characters by visiting this website: Winnie-The-Pooh
- This week, we are celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday, and Winnie-the-Pooh is very grateful for all of his friends-Christopher Robin, Piglet, Eeyore, Owl, Rabbit, Kanga, and Roo. They are loyal to each other and they help each other out of sticky situations. Discuss with your family, friends, and relatives about ways you can show them that you are a loyal and caring friend.
- There are several sequel books to Winnie-the-Pooh that continue the stories of Christopher Robin, Winnie-the-Pooh and friends. After your family has finished reading the book of the month, visit your local library to read The House on Pooh Corner, by A.A. Milne or Return to the Hundred Acre Wood, by David Benedictus. You will enjoy reading about the new adventures and friends Pooh meets in these books!
